WITH ALI STOCKFORD

Clowning is a state of playfulness that brings us to experience a child-like, naïve and vulnerable state of being. Paradoxically we grow, learn and are strengthened through reconnecting playfully with what makes us most vulnerable. This approach to clowning is not a technique (tricks, gags and routines) but a personal journey towards finding one’s own unique way of being a clown, by listening and being receptive, essential skills for any creative and imaginative expression. It is only when we let go our control over things that we begin to be surprised by the depth of what reveals itself to us. Come for a weekend of letting go and freeing up!
The group is limited to 12

Alison Stockford

Ali has been facilitating Nose to Nose workshops for over five years for creatives and people from all walks of life who are interested in exploring this extraordinary character and archetype. She sees clown improvisation as the perfect grounding for all creative work, developing our potential for full self-expression and the bigger picture of trusting ourselves and life.  A member of the Nose to Nose Team, UK, Clown facilitation has also taken her into training work for the Giggle Doctors, Theodora Foundation, UK and for Lis’n Tell Speech and Language practitioners UK.  Previous work includes devising and directing performance with young people and adults with learning disabilities and as a performer and tap dancer in street theatre, school tours and cabaret with companies Inside Out Theatre Company and Les Amuse-Gueules, France.
